Dishes of Darkness: Pottery Barn Inspired Halloween Plates

Learn how to make your own Pottery Barn Inspired Halloween Plates with our free (and creepy) printables. We’ll show you how it’s done!

Since last year, I’ve been eyeballing Pottery Barn Halloween appetizer plates. Instead of using them as normal dishes, my plan was to use them as decor pieces around the house. Figures, by the time I finally decided to buy them, Pottery Barn wasn’t carrying them any more.

Well… What does a crafty one do when she can’t get the original? Make something similar! With that plan in mind, I started searching for some plates that I could use to create similar Halloween plates. Luckily, around Easter time I found 4 light cream color plates at Mom’s thrift shop, Second Chance Shop. The plates not only were excellent for the job, but also were a dollar each. Even better, Second Chance Shop had the Easter sale going on so all items were 75% off and 4 plates cost me only a dollar in total.

Seeing beautiful Halloween indoor decorations online, I thought I should start working on my Halloween plate project. So I took the plates from storage and I started looking for some eerie images to transfer to the plates. I found some great images online, but if I only used the images the plates would look rather empty. So I added Halloween poems as the background of those images. After two evenings of work I was pretty happy with the final version of the images.

If you’d like to use these images for your own projects you can find the high resolution versions at the end of post. Please remember they are only for personal use.

Unfortunately they can’t be used for serving food, but my plan was to use them purely as Halloween decoration… And they are perfect for that purpose!

This is pretty wicked! I love your Halloween decor. Wow, you go all out. I can’t do this because my girl doesn’t like scary stuff, but this would be cool to do for a Halloween party. Thank you for sharing at Dishing it and Digging it link party. See you this Sunday.

Hahaha – then you are at the correct blog, Connie! I generally start planning for Halloween just around when we hit Easter, lol. No worries about the printables – I just sent them directly to your e-mail. I hope you’ll like them 😉

What a comfort knowing that I am not alone in thinking and planning for Halloween in August (or July, or May or January…). Love these plates! I have plain white plates that are crying out for this project! I may just leave them up all year! I cannot see the link for the download, though. Can you forward that via e-mail? Thanks! And I love this blog! Keep up the inspiring work!

Thank you so much, Sharon! I am so glad you liked the Navage Patch. Oh yes – we love Halloween and we are definitely early birds when it comes to Halloween planning 😉 I will forward the plate designs to you right in a moment!

I love these plates ! Getting ready.to make them for my not so little daughter ( lol) ! I read your transfer method and while I Mod podge all the time I ‘ve never tried this method , I do have a quick question will this work on any hard surface ? I am making several sets of tile coasters as Christmas gifts and I adore the way the plates turned out. Will the same method work on the tiles ? Thanks bunches , Wanda I just finished the butterflies under glass and it turned out way cool !!! Think I will try one with birds for the spring .

Hi Lori, sorry for the late reply. I’m not sure how I missed it, but seeing your comment just now. I’m not sure why it does that, but no worries, I’ll be sending the direct link to the files to help you out. Please check your email shortly for an email from me. 🙂
